The police are still searching for the suspect, who has been identified as a man from the Los Angeles area aged 28-30. The sheriff's department has released a picture of him, presumably taken on security camera, and issued a $100,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

The man approached the officers' car parked near the Willowbrook Metro station on Sunday while they were inside the vehicle and opened fire. The police said that the fire was without warning and unprovoked, after which the suspect ran off.
